His OL is essentially garbage in pass protection, but he was on thin ice coming into the season anyway.
I'd love for the 49ers to stick with this guy, but it's pretty clear now that he'll be done with SF by season's end.
Could it be sooner? I guess, but Gabbert wouldn't be any better in terms of wins and losses, as it would be a negligible difference between him and Kaep.
Their best bet is to tank to the point where the entire staff (including the GM) is canned, and they end up with a top 5 pick or better in next year's draft.

LMAO.

Any bets that he gets traded to Philly in the offseason?

Hasn't your QB thrown 6 TDs 7 ints over the last 5 games? Maybe a whipping boy is needed right now. Hey, he's yours for the next 10 yrs. The rest of us nonfranchise QB having fans are just effed.
I mean, "Krapperdick". Really. About sums up the interaction I've had here over the yrs.
I'd honestly like to revel in Wilson's recent much less pronounced struggles

It's their chance to become their own star for a day. It just blows my mind some days reading through NFL.Com etc how many people revel in other's failures.
I hope Kap turns it around somewhere else, or at least can feel good about putting this much work in to become what he was trying to be. I'd honestly like to revel in Wilson's recent much less pronounced struggles, but unfortunately it does nothing to make our QB any better.
Maybe Wilson will get it going tonight at home on the big stage.

There are a few teams that might want to take a QB that showed a lot of promise just a few years ago.
Jets, Bills, Browns, and Texans might be in the market, and the Eagles always come to mind when a mobile QB is available.

His contract may not be all it seems!

He'll remain on the team for this season, then be released at its conclusion, IMO.
It's clear that they need to move on from this guy, and draft somebody else next spring.
He's done all he can in SF, had some success early, but would be better off getting a fresh start with a new team, probably as a back up at this point.

His psyche is too fragile. He's a thin skinned guy who cares too much what fans think - so much so that he's engaged in twitter disputes with a couple of them (usually 49er fans). Big no no.
When things are good, he's all smiles. When they're bad - and it's about as bad as it can get right now - he goes into tank. Now, nobody is gonna be flashing a big smile when they suck. But I think it goes deeper with this guy. The highs are high, but the lows are even lower.
You could see it last night, even before the 1st half started to get ugly (score wise). After their first couple of drives, his face was wearing fear. The Seahawks are in his head for sure, so it's understandable in that regard. But he doesn't trust himself to pull out of a funk in general.
You have to have a thick skin to survive in the NFL as a starting QB. RW has had that from the get go, along with other. CK has next to nothing in this context.
You have to learn from your mistakes, but not beat yourself up over them. At the moment, I think he's doing a whole lot of the latter. Can he snap out of it?
Not in SF.
Maybe somewhere else.
